I think my worst bonehead story is back when I had my '87 Mustang GT. For some reason or another it didn't want to start, but if I push-started it, it was fine. I was running late to work that evening, so I had started to push-start it in my driveway. I got out of the car, leaving the door open so I could run back and get into the car once I got enough momentum to start it (it didn't take much, and the driveway had enough of a slope to roll naturally once I got it going). Anyway, to make a long story short, I forgot about the basketball goal pole on the edge of the driveway. Needless to say, the pole stopped the car, and hyperextended the door hinges. The door wouldn't close after that.

It was a lot like that scene in Tommy Boy at the gas station, where he backs the car up to the pump, and the door hits the pole. Just not near as funny.
